Introduced by Kaiwen Duan et al. in CenterNet: Keypoint Triplets for Object Detection

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

Center Pooling is a pooling technique for object detection that aims to capture richer and more recognizable visual patterns. The geometric centers of objects do not necessarily convey very recognizable visual patterns (e.g., the human head contains strong visual patterns, but the center keypoint is often in the middle of the human body).

The detailed process of center pooling is as follows: the backbone outputs a feature map, and to determine if a pixel in the feature map is a center keypoint, we need to find the maximum value in its both horizontal and vertical directions and add them together. By doing this, center pooling helps the better detection of center keypoints.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (46 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
